A 93-YEAR-OLD man has been sentenced to ten years in prison for killing an 82-year-old woman who resisted his romantic advances.

Marcel Guillot, nicknamed “Grandfather Marcel”, was found guilty of murdering Nicole El Dib in 2011, then pushing her body into a stream, when she spurned him.

He denied killing her, saying El Dib slipped and fell, but admitted to police he was left humiliated by the woman, who he had a “crush on”, and that he went to her home to punish her.

“I wanted to know why she refused to see me ... I don’t understand, we were always good together. I did not hit her, she was my girlfriend,” he told the court.

IS THIS MISSING MALAYSIA AIRLINES FLIGHT 370?

Five search planes have spotted several objects of various colours in the crash zone for missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370. The objects were first seen by a RNZAF Orion plane, before RAAF searchers confirmed the sighting.

The new discovery has sparked hopes that the debris of the missing plane has been found after three weeks of mystery.

The debris must now be relocated and recovered by ships before they can be verified.

A Chinese patrol ship in the area will attempt to track down the objects today. Photographs of the objects are to be assessed overnight.

The search for the missing plane was shifted north after new information from Malaysia crash investigators.
